TLDR : Answer Summary
When you have a 6-hour layover in Bangkok and need to check your baggage again, whether you need a transit visa depends on several factors: the ticket type (if it's booked through to your final destination and whether you need to collect your bags), your nationality (visas exempt countries may not need one), and whether you'll be passing through immigration. It's advisable to check directly with the airline or inquire at the airport during check-in for the most accurate information.

If you through checked your luggage to your final destination on your initial departure, you won't see it.

better ask when you check in at the airport

If you need to pass through immigration and recheck into another international flight, the visa question then depends on what passport your travelling on. If a visa exempt country then you need nothing

Ask the airline

Too little information. Depends on what sort of ticket you have. Some are booked through to destination and you don't collect bags and stay airside. If not, what passport.
